Starting Friday, Sparrow Eaton Hospital’s COVID-19 testing site will no longer be at the Harris St location. The site will now be about a mile away at AL!VE in on W. Lawrence Avenue. At the new location, residents can receive the PCR nasopharyngeal swab, the most accurate and dependable COVID-19 test.
The move was made to support improved access to testing, demand, traffic, and protect against the upcoming winter weather.
Patients who don’t have a physician order for a test are required to use “System Checker” and MySparrow portal to register for a test. The self-registration can be done within a couple of minutes.
Patients are asked to use the east entry, which will be operated as a drive-thru style lane.
Testing hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. AL!VE is located at 800 W. Lawrence Ave in Charlotte.
